Graduates will be hired as research and development and technical personnel at POSCO Future M.

Last year, POSCO Future M has been promoting cooperation with leading domestic educational institutions such as POSTECH, Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Hanyang University, and Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) to cultivate specialized talent in battery materials.

Candidates with language skills in English, French, and humanities capabilities are selected to foster talent equipped with engineering skills, local cultural adaptability, and geopolitical understanding.

Kim Jun-hyung, CEO of POSCO Future M, said, "We are concentrating the company's full capabilities on securing outstanding personnel to support global top-tier research competitiveness," adding, "We will actively support selected students to nurture them as global core talents in the battery industry and take the lead in securing national technological competitiveness."
